Introduction to Studio Dip Glazing Class

Did you attend one of our foundation or taster classes and have bisqued pieces? Are you ready to learn the next step of the ceramic process?
Join this 2.5-hr informative and hands-on session where you will learn how to add colour and glaze to your bisque fired ceramic pieces. You'll learn how to finish your piece/s so they are food safe, waterproof, and have your personal creative touch.
We will glaze fire your pieces ready to be collected approximately 2-3 weeks after the session.
This class is a follow on from any of our foundation and taster classes where you've made pieces that are now bisque fired.
In this class you will be guided through the dip glaze process and you will be able to complete the pieces that you made during your class with us.
If you have other stoneware pieces that you would like to bring along, please speak to us beforehand. The price includes tuition, glazes and firing costs. This introductory class is a precursor to anyone who wants to attend open studio glaze sessions in our studio.
Please note: bookings for this class need to be made after you have been notified that your pieces have had their first firing (Bisque).

  • 5/5 from David Moses, attended Oct 2026: I'm so glad I found this studio! Returning to ceramics after more than 30 years has been an absolute joy. The open wheel sessions are relaxed, supportive and inspiring, and the glazing class on my first bisque-fired pieces was excellent. Agatha is a fantastic teacher who shares her knowledge generously and creates a friendly, creative environment. I always leave feeling motivated and excited for my next session.
  • 5/5 from Deirbhle Mannion, attended Aug 2026: It was a great learning experience - only three students, which meant we got almost one-to-one attention - I enjoyed a sense of curiosity, intrigue, intensity and … suspense!!! I can’t wait to see how my pieces turn out!!! Thank you Agatha
  • 5/5 from Donna Feneley, attended May 2026: The glazing class was very relaxed with Agatha. She was a patient and engaging teacher. Thanks, Donna
  • 5/5 from Carolyn Lancaster, attended Mar 2026: Teachers are really patient and knowledgeable -it's very friendly and you can learn a lot. Highly recommended!
  • 5/5 from Alexandra Khershberg, attended Oct 2025: Agatha is just the best teacher of all time - she makes it very social and just a good experience for everyone. Really feels like a community!
  • 5/5 from K Chapman, attended Jun 2025: Agatha is a wealth of knowledge on all aspects of ceramics. She is a working artist and as a teacher, I find her sensitivity to each persons unique creative process and pace to be invaluable. Whenever I come to class I feel at ease, encouraged and well-informed. I attended the hand building course prior and that was a lot of fun. It's a lovely space--well-equipped and walking distance to great coffee!
  • 5/5 from Helen Stanley, attended Nov 2024: Really enjoyed the class, was a good size, lots of information and Agatha was great at instilling confidence!

  • 5/5 from Ashleigh Broad, attended Sep 2024: Agatha is amazing she has so much knowledge about the glazes and how they work together. She gives suggestions but also creates an atmosphere where you feel inspired and confident to play. I love all the different types of glazes you have on offer and love how conscious of safety the studio is. I would like to spend and class just doing paint on glazes or classes based on specific glaze styles other than doing the dip glaze. When the dip glaze is there it’s really easy to not pick up a paint brush and explore illustrations, a class specific to this could be good, no issue with the current format though! 10/10
  • 5/5 from Bec Warne, attended Aug 2024: As always, the classes at the Clay Studio are fun and informative, with Agatha full of knowledge and there to guide and support us in our work.

I am very excited to continue learning and exploring glazes at the studio as I continue my clay adventures.

We learnt a lot in a one off taster class and was a good way to introduce techniques and give us an idea of whether we would like to dive into pottery on a more ongoing basis.

Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio

5.0 (397)

Located at iconic Bondi Beach, Bondi Pavilion Clay Studio nurtures creativity, wellbeing and community through clay.
The Studio is run by Agatha Pupaher and Leanne Berelowitz in partnership with Waverley Council. Agatha co-founded and managed Sydney Clay Studio, a creative space and kiln firing service in St Peters from 2017-2024. Agatha is a ceramic artist and educator who is passionate about sharing her love of clay. Leanne has a BFA in ceramics and glass from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in Jerusalem and a Master of Cross-disciplinary Art and Design from UNSW Art and Design, Sydney. She has been teaching ceramics for 15 years. Both Leanne and Agatha are practising ceramic artists who exhibit their work in group and collaborative exhibitions. In addition, they have both worked in former careers; Agatha, as a child and family psychologist, and Leanne, as a registered nurse. They value each other’s transferable skills and expertise in working with people of all ages, and draw on them for their art teaching.
Agatha and Leanne value deep learning and making, and aim to help students create space to pause, reflect and reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. Hands, head and heart working together to bring ideas to life. They teach the classes along with a small team of passionate tutors and ceramic artists who share a similar slow approach to creating/working with clay. While pottery/ceramics is about making things, their teaching approach is to initially fixate less on the outcome, and focus on building skills and developing techniques through creative exploration.
